Hi Rogers
Scratching my baldy head on this problem for a week now. I am pretty sure I'll see blood very soon.
Anyways, I've got the 9020 and for a while now, I notice the 9020 does not produce the same amount of skimmate (bubbles/foams) in each of the Foam extraction unit. One seems to be much stronger than the other. In fact, the week side can barely produce enough foam to reach the bottom of the Foam Extraction Unit.
Having said that, I took everything apart and cleaned, cleaned, vinegar, Chlorine, cleaned... Each time I return the unit to the tank, same thing happened. One side produces foams up to the middle of the Foam Extraction unit and the other side barely have enough foam to reach the bottom.
SO... I switch the impeller housing and now the "weak" side of the 9020 produces alot of foam and the strong side becomes "weak". did this a few more times and sure enough, the Impeller Housing swapping makes a difference in performance. I DON"T GET IT. what can go wrong with the Impeller Housing. I checked and checked, they are the same... look the same, smell the same, have the same # of holes...
Anyways, I am in the process of ordering new parts including a new Impeller Housing from the Tunze Canadian Branch... wish me luck.
PS: Not sure if you remember helping me ordering parts from the Canadian Branch few months ago... but I like to say THANKS for your help. The parts finally arrived 2 and a half months later after I post for help on this thread. Without you, I don't think my order would have been able to see the light of day.
